Fastball (2016)
Not Rated
Narrated by Kevin Costner
Directed by Johnathan Hock
The Story:
A relatively simple, straightforward documentary about the history of the fastball in baseball is actually way more complex than you could imagine.
And, if you're going to have a documentary about baseball, is there any better voice to carry the film than that of Kevin Costner?
The film takes a look at the fastball, specifically, and the history of the game all while trying to figure out which pitcher really, truly has thrown the fastest fastball in the history of the game.
Using science, physics, history and math, they are able to compare the greats of different eras and crown the ultimate King of the Fastball.
The answer might surprise you...
With interviews from some of the best that ever threw it, and those that dared to hit it, this compelling tale keeps you interested from start to finish.
Even if you don't like baseball, you'll likely find something to enjoy about this film.
Currently streaming on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: A-
